Those numbers are for the "ad free" accounts, which are really lightweight anyway. For instance, the ad free accounts only get 100MB of storage for their email anyway, so a 60MB hourly cap is not entirely unreasonable: that's more than half your mailbox. Of course, for 40 cents a month, I think those numbers are pretty reasonable.
More appropriate would be the "full" accounts, which have a much more reasonable 300MB/600MB hourly/daily data quota. Of course, again, mailbox storage is limited to 1GB there... and so on.
I don't think the quotas are unnatural given the relative mailbox sizes. But, for full disclosure, I am a (happy) Fastmail user.
- claudius 13y agoI took the lowest numbers there as some lower lower limit someone could have hit – only the Premium account seems to be somewhat usable from my perspective. Do you know if and if yes, by how much, trial accounts are further restricted?
- ReidZB 13y agoI was not aware trial accounts are restricted, and I can't find any info online about it, so... So far, though, I have been quite impressed with Fastmail. (I have an enhanced account.)
- krenel 13y agoSame here. Really happy with the service and though I don't make intensive usage of mail I have the Enhanced account[1]. Everything works like a charm, it's very customisable at all levels, I've imported successfully all the emails from my old gmail account and is fast as hell. The service really looks promising. And about the tech support, I've sent a few mails and they have answered me properly. Sometimes the mail was the tipically pre-made made one though. But it have detailed information about how to solve my problem, so that's cool. [1] I'm using the 2 month trial. I haven't introduced the credit card yet. Even paying an account is sooo cheap.
